themselves. Today we know that just as in one family run: a tendency to develop arth- ritis. another peptic ulcer. mother tuberculosis and so on. so are there individuals whose family his- tory shows a number who have been alcoholics. -In other words. there is what 'is called a constitu- tional defect or lack which causes them to turn to alcohol when per- plexities or problems arise. These same individuals will table or fight physical problems but when conflicts arise within them. some family problem. some financial problem must be faced. they turn to alcohol.

We all have some defects, some constitutional lack or inadequacy which we greatly dislike to face and even fail to face but alcohol is no temptation to us. we can be called lucky. that's all.

Despite the new drugs available which make the alcoholic deathly sick if he takes alcohol after tak- ing the drug. our research workers on alcoholism are agreed that psi” chotherarp (treating the patients mind by persuasion. by prayers) is still the best method used of cur- ing alcoholism. This is the method used by members of Alcoholics Anonymous.

In the Swiss Medical journal.

' Drs. R. Chaplus and H. Solms state

that even abstinyi put on the market under various names such as Teca. Antabuse and Avensan can be expected to act only as an aid to psychotherapy. It has been established that best results are dttained by giving a dose of ab- stinyl so large that once alcohol is taken following this dose the effects will be so distressing that the alcoholic would sooner do without alcohol than suffer such terrible pain and distress. -

Drs. Charplus and Solms point. out that arbstinyl should be given by a physician who will control dose and symptoms and prevent any injurious effects from this at present useful drug.

Strange But True

By E. H. Mac.-u-thur

TRUE or false -- Did John the Baptist eat locusts and honey?- True. John ate locust-dust mixed with hcncy, a common food for peo- ple who lived at some distance from towns. The Negroes and Arabs oi Abyssinia still eat locusts, either roasted or boiled in salt water. But when preserved for future use, they are dried in the sun, their heads, wlngs und legs plucked off, and their bodies ground into dust. This dust has a bitter ilaror which is offset by mixing it with camel's milk. or honey. The Bosjesmans oi South Africa count locusts as bless- ings, and not a plague. They till no ground, so that they care nothing for crops. and they breed no cattle. But. when they sight a cloud of locusts in the dis- tance they light great fires so as to create a dense smoke when the la- custs fly over the fires, the smoke; causes them to fall to the ground in a stupor. when they are caught in vast numbers by the natives. Mr. Mansfield Parkyns in his "Life in Abyssinia" says that the true Abys- sinlans will not eat the locust, but that the Negroes and Arabs are specially fond of them. He de- scribes the flavor as resembling linseed cake. other writers say they taste like shrimps. so when the scriptures inform us that John the Baptist ate locusts and honey. we can take the statement as a matter of fact.

loo Many Men Leave Child Raising To Their Wives

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am tired of hearing the mothers blamed for the way their children turn out. What about the lathers' re- sponsibility in rearing their children and fitting them to meet the bumps and hard knocks in life? It is during the childhood that chur- acier is formed. and every boy needs a father who is a friend to

,. whom he can go with his problems. There is no greater crime than that so many faihe.s bring chil- dren into the world and do not pay any more at- tention lo them than if they were stray dogs. What do you think about this?

x

A READER

ANSWER: I fully agree with you. In our curious American school structure there is nothing so strange and inexplicable as that our men should a-....... be at once the best and the worst fathers in the world. The best in the sense that they are most anxious to B-We material things to their children. and the worst in the sense that they so seldom give them any personal attention.

MIGHT AS WELL BE FATHEIILESS

It is hardly too much to say that except for purpose of legitimacy the average American child might as well be father-less as to have the kind of father he possesses. Except for supporting his children the average man washes his hands of all responsibility for themg He doesn't play with them as babies. He doesn't take the trouble or the time to get acquainted with them. He hasn't any more idea of what his own little Johnny and Janey are thinking and doing and what kind of mind; they have and what their desires and aspirations are than he has of any other youngsters in the neighborhood.

All of his contacts With his children are financial and these are mainly negotiated through their mother, who tells father that Sam wants a bicycle or Mary a -pink dress. There are plenty of fathers and children who never in ihgelruwholegllves have a single free heart- to-heart talk. Instead both of them are embarrassed to death -when they are left alone together. and one or the other of them make: a sneak as soon as possible. . I

It is because fathers have so little to do in rearing the children that we blame the mothers for the way the children turn out. But that does not exonerate the fathers forghaving failed in their obliga- tion. for children need two parents, not one. No matter how good a mother is nor how conscientiously she tries to do her best by Mr children there is need for the father's influence. toog

DEAR MISS DIX: I am going with a girl who has an apron- strlng complex. When I ask for a date she goes into a consultation with the family to see if they are going any place that night. If they are going to stay at home. I get a date. If they are going out. I don't. This girl is 21 years of age. but she has no more freedom than if she were a little child. Do you think it right for the family to feel that they have the first claim on all of her time and for me to run a bad second? I don't, intend to put up with this much longer.

ANXIOUS

ANSWER: If the girl prefers going to the neighborhood movies with the family to stepping out with you. it doesn't look as if she cared very much for your society. Moat girls don't consider an outing with father and mother and little sister and brother a very hilarious experience.

No doubt this girl who prefers dull times with her family to good times with boys is an admirable character. But, take it from me. son, in reality this family obsession is about the worst fault it girl can have from a'marrying point of view. .For Ihe is always more married to her family than she is to her husband. The family always comes first with her.

Many a man can never get ahead in the world, no matter. how hard he works. because his wife ppends his earnings on her family. Many a man has to give up the opportunity that would have made his fortune because his wife refuses to move away from Mother and the girls. Many a man's whole life la ruled by what Mother says and what Father thinks. and is dominated in every way not only by his wife but also by his wife's family: So. son. I'd think a long ilme before I would tie up with any girl who put her family before me.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: About a year ago I met a man who is now 38 years old and divorced. He never mentioned my age to me. but at times would remark about girls of 35 being older than he liked and would be sarcastic about old maids This man and I fell in love with each other and we were marrie , but when we were getting the marriage license I gave my age as 32, whereas I am really 37. though I do not look more than 28. The only thing that keeps me from being the happiest being on earth is because I have deceived my husband. What must I do?

WORBXED

ANSWER: Xeepyour mouth shut. Never tell him. For we re . one is because if you only look 25 that is all you really are. And, in the second place. because his idea that a woman ceases to be attractive at 35 is silly and. anyway. the difference between your ages is negligible.
